The way Spurs work these days, I think he'd have been out the door long ago if Poch & Co. didn't see something in him.

Yeah. You couldn't see that assist against Bayern and not be impressed. It just seemed like a bit of a watershed moment.

Can’t blame you, but everyone saying how amazing Eriksen was but none of the goals were directly because of him and the tempo was raised but would another player have not done the same ?

Creates space and exploits gaps and pulls defences out of shape.

First half was turd, second half we proved that a turd can actually be polished. :LOL:

Eriksen was good when he came on but still can't take a decent corner which is odd for such a technicially gifted player.

Sorry dude, disagree, he made one bad cross then fired in 2 (I think) that were top class. I'm fucking annoyed with him for his antics, but he looked like he wanted it today.
EDIT: one of those crosses may have been Walker Peters.

Sissoko needs to be played central, playing right side exposes his weaknesses in the attacking third

Yes he’s awful when he plays wide. If he’s going to play it has to be centrally. I also don’t know how people advocate him as a potential RB option. He would be a disaster there.

Two big lessons we learned today:

1. The diamond clearly doesn't work.. far from it. We set up against City like this and we'll get fucking worked.
2. We still need Eriksen so fucking badly. We looked completely different with him on.

I’d rather see Eriksen stay and run down his contract than sell him now . Another season of him and Lo Celso and Ndombele can be bedded in and hopefully ready to be the main men for next season. At the end of the day we paid 11m for him and he will have been with us for 6 years . I don’t see how anyone could complain if that happens.

Clubs are certainly going to have to offer a large fee if they want to prise him from us. His contribution on the pitch this season alone could easily be worth a huge amount of prize money. We'd be fools to take the risk of selling him for anything other than big money.

Very poor display. Luckily as we brought on Eriksen they had just started to tire and our extra fitness and skill finally made the difference. I am expecting us to get properly turned over next weekend.

The KWP was good and Sissoko shouldn’t play out wide comments are quite discordant in my view. Pochettino clearly played Sissoko there to protect KWP and it worked very well.

I think it’s a very good tactic while KWP continues to get more experience and builds confidence.

If he won't sign all attempts must be made to sell him. We don't have a magic money tree.
That said, Eriksen holds all the cards. in 5 months or so he can negotiate a free transfer. Real Madrid might want to take a chance on him then.
Got to be well odds on that he runs down his contract.

Good to hear Pochettino come out and take ownership of the shit show in the first half.
